Chapter 804: It's not that enemies don't get together
In this national war, when the fierce battle between Pakistan and the Korean Peninsula was in full swing, Duke was not idle, and other things were fine, and he could not expect to produce results for a while, but the huge project of the twin islands, from Vice Chairman Liu to General Yang and other military bigwigs, all had high hopes that the Tomahawk cruise missile could be "destroyed", giving the military bigwigs a huge space for imagination.
"What do the chiefs mean, let's see if you can go through some designs to soft-destroy the military satellites of the US military passing over the western Pacific" Qin Tairan was ordered to fully assist Duke in militarizing the Twin Islands project, although Qin Tairan himself also felt that this request was a bit excessive, but now that the state affairs are difficult, as soon as several major battlefields open, in the face of the strategic situation of the US military in full bloom, the weakness of the PLA's insufficient naval and air strength will be completely exposed.
In this case, the PLA's strategy, in addition to mainly relying on the mainland for deployment, is to do its best to block the threat from the US forces on both flanks in South Asia and Northeast Asia, but from the current point of view, although the South Asian Theater repelled an attack by the US army on the ground and caused heavy losses to the US 10th Mountain Division, it did not cripple the US forces stationed in Afghanistan, not only the strength of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, the main force of the US army, but also the main forces such as the 82nd Airborne Division and the 1st Marine Division in the US Army Command in Afghanistan, wait until the next US military comeback, It will be even more difficult for the Pakistani army to resist.
And even in the face of the attack of the two divisions of the US army, in order to repel them, not only the Pakistani army has done its best, the two elite armor have all been released, and at the same time, the PLA has exhausted the air force that can be used in the northwest direction, and even had to ask the Persians for help in the desperate situation to repel the US attack.
After the two air wars, the remaining air forces of China, Pakistan, and Persia in the South Asian theater are still far inferior in terms of numbers and strength to the US and Indian air forces.
Although the PLA has not yet engaged in direct confrontation with the US military on the Korean Peninsula, it is still in a disadvantageous position with the United States, Japan, and the ROK in terms of air power.
Therefore, the bigwigs of the Central Military Commission especially hope that there will be some unconventional strike forces that can weaken some of the advantages of the US military. Paralyzing or interfering with the U.S. military's communications capability is naturally a more effective way, and Duke can destroy the U.S. cruise missile, which may be equally effective against the U.S. military's satellites in the eyes of the Central Military Commission's bigwigs.
It is not that the PLA has no other means to destroy the US military's satellites in space, the use of missiles to hit satellites has been tested many times more than 10 years ago, and for low-orbit satellites, there is not much technical difficulty, but no country has done so blatantly, because China is not the only country with this capability, so the PLA cannot dare to be the first in the world in this regard, otherwise it will inevitably face huge political pressure from the whole world.
This is the same as the use of nuclear weapons, which is not a last resort, but in fact, none of the major powers that possess nuclear weapons today dare to be the first to use them, and no one can afford the devastating consequences of such a first use.
However, if the opponent's satellite can be killed without knowing it, so that the US military will not be able to grasp the handle at all, it is another matter, and the use of electromagnetic weapons to disappear without a trace is exactly a kind of ultimate power that hurts people invisibly.
"Low-orbit satellites may be possible, for synchronous communication satellites, with the current technical capabilities, it is still difficult for the time being" After listening to Qin Tairan's needs, Duke shook his head after thinking about it and said, in a distance of more than 100 kilometers from the earth, use the twin island beam energy electromagnetic transmitter to irradiate the satellite with electromagnetic waves of maximum power intensity, even if the satellite has undergone special treatment, it is not a big problem to destroy some of the electronic components in these satellites that are more sensitive to electromagnetism.
However, for synchronous communication satellites 36,000 kilometers away, the soft killing ability of these electromagnetic waves after passing through the atmosphere has been greatly weakened, and it is no longer enough to burn out the electronic components in these synchronous satellites.
"It is okay to be able to destroy low-orbit satellites, and now most of the low-orbit satellites of the US military are mainly used for military reconnaissance purposes, and a small part are also used in communications, if we can blind the low-orbit satellites of the US military over the western Pacific and make them blind, it is also a great advantage for us." As soon as Qin Tairan heard that there was a door, he was overjoyed, but he was not picky.
However, if the US military reconnaissance satellites flying over our country are really destroyed and the US military becomes blind, it will naturally have huge benefits for the PLA, and with the technology developed by Duke to search for the US military's stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the PLA will be able to ensure that its own military deployment will no longer be intercepted by the US military.
Duke smiled bitterly and didn't speak again, after the completion of the Twin Islands project, it was too late to do anything more than Lem, and a deliberate attack triggered a war on a huge scale, which is really not an auspicious place to say.
"I need a team to study satellites to cooperate, and it is best to have some actual information on the components of US military satellite products, and of course, the most important thing is to have accurate target orbit parameters." To do research in this area, Duke himself has no accumulation, of course, a lot of data is needed to conduct research, this is not like a missile, no matter what you are, you will be bombarded.
Since it is going to be done, Duke wants to do a better job, and it is better to just damage the most vulnerable and critical electronic components of these military satellites of the US military so that they just fail, and if it looks like the satellite has failed on its own, it will be better.
According to the intelligence transferred by the CIA, coupled with the fact that the PLA has been continuously strengthening the air defense forces of the Twin Islands in recent times, they have judged the importance of the Twin Islands.
Although the US military does not have any information to prove the existence of this electromagnetic weapon, let alone its main purpose, the more mysterious it is, the more necessary it is for the intelligence analysts of the US Pacific Command to attach great importance to it.
However, the US military command racked its brains on how to control this war into conventional warfare, and the twin islands are civilian targets marked by the Chinese side, and there is no doubt that there are also a large number of Chinese scientists engaged in scientific research on space exploration on the islands, and if the US military wants to attack this island, if there is no justifiable excuse politically, it will certainly lead to serious consequences.
Because the PLA has stated that they will retaliate against any attack on the Chinese mainland, after the US military attacked the Twin Islands for the first time, the PLA did not hesitate to use its own nuclear submarines to launch a retaliatory attack, which caused a great shock to the US military.
Now, after such a long period of pursuit, the US Atlantic Fleet still has not forced out the traces of the PLA's nuclear submarines, which shows that the PLA's nuclear submarines have made great technological progress and are enough to stealthily approach the US mainland, and if these nuclear submarines carry nuclear weapons, the United States simply cannot afford to be attacked by nuclear weapons.
Even if the entire Korean Peninsula is lost, as long as the US military does not push the PLA into a corner, it is believed that the PLA will maintain a restrained posture in the use of nuclear weapons, but once it wants to completely annihilate the main forces of the PLA Navy and Air Force and launch an attack on China's important civilian facilities, then the US military's actions may touch the bottom line of the PLA's use of nuclear weapons.
Therefore, in the high-level plan of the US military, it is very important to find out the PLA's nuclear strike capability, and land-based intercontinental missiles can be left unmentioned, with the protection of NMD, and the US military is actually not very worried about the PLA's land-based intercontinental missiles, which are still relatively backward, and the early warning network that completely encircles China can allow the US military to deal with land-based intercontinental missile attacks for a longer period of time and by various means.
The US military is most worried about the PLA's nuclear submarines, and the US military's top officials know that as long as this huge threat from the bottom of the sea cannot be solved in one day, the US military's all-out offensive plan will not dare to be put into practice for a day.
Therefore, in the operational plan of the US Pacific Command, what is really being implemented at this stage is a war on the Korean Peninsula, and the main goal is to resolve the Korean Peninsula issue and at the same time expel the PLA to the west of the Yalu River; on this basis, the US military will carry out a new round of blockade of the first island chain against the PLA, force out the PLA's nuclear submarines, and solve them, and then consider launching a large-scale attack on the PLA's navy and air force and completely destroying the PLA's naval and air forces along the southeast coast.
This is the ultimate goal of the US military's operation, but there is still a lot to be done by the US military before this step can be carried out.
While 50,000 U.S. troops temporarily returned home in Pakistan's Ataq region, the 100,000 U.S. troops and 200,000 South Korean troops on the Korean Peninsula continued to advance in great force, breaking through the sluggish tactical entanglement of the KPA, and the main force began to advance within 20 kilometers of the line from Pyeongseong to Wonsan, and the forward reconnaissance units of the ROK and US armies had even begun to engage fire with the PLA.
The 39th and 54th armies of the People's Liberation Army, under the command of General Li Hu, commander-in-chief of the Korean Theater and commander of the Northeast Army of the People's Liberation Army, are preparing to launch a large-scale counterattack campaign to contain the current unfavorable situation in which the People's Army is defeated. On the Eastern Front, the PLA is preparing to use the 3rd Armored Division as a fist to assault the elite 4th Division of the ROK Army in front of it; On the Western Front, the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, with the 162nd Division as the fist and the 115th Division as the auxiliary assault.
In this way, 70 years after the first Korean War in the fifties of the last century, the two major army powers in the world today will once again engage in a desperate struggle on the same battlefield!
